The Sea-Unicorn (also known as Maricorn/Mericorn or Almaricorn as the name from the internet) is a creature found in heraldry. It is depicted as a unicorn with the hindquarters of a fish (but in modern, it is depicted as a unicorn with the hindquarter of a cetacean or pinniped). Basically, like a hybrid of a hippocampus and a unicorn. They appear mainly as supporters. Some of these sea-unicorns may come with wings. In fact, the unicorn of Sant Llorenç d’Hortons, despite not being on heraldry, might be considered one, with its blue color, fish/cetacean/pinniped tail, and wings.
